Max and Finley went to the junkyard with their parents for fun. While exploring, they fell through a path and discovered it led to an active car compactor. They narrowly escaped being crushed but watched helplessly as their parents were crushed by the machine. They spotted a man sneaking away and chased after him, cornering him. Max found a pocket knife and armed himself before the man was arrested. They then took a taxi to where the man was being held and began questioning him about what happened.
